President ThAyer addressed the Council
On the honorable, gray haired chestnut
water supply. He stated that the present
supply was wholly inadequate. that a short
age was noticeable in the quantity Of water
which flows from the lake. tnst the con-
sumption of water was three times larger
than it should be for the number Of con-
nections and that another orCUth or
continuation Of the present one would
leave the city in bad condition. He set
forth the conference had with expert En-
gineer Cook. who had made careful esii-
mates in the premises. and stated that the
river could be tapped az the pumping works
at an expense of 50 ZOO If the present ma
cninery were used, or Slc 900 for the esiab-
lishment of separate system OF machinery
In closing he begged the council 10 take
some action IN the premises aud estimated
that il would take tive or six weeks 10 do
the necessary work proposed by the first
plnn-inasmuch IS all present supplies had
proven wholly Inadequate 10 meet the ce
mands on them and that even
the proposed plans could not
give the relief which was 50 necessary a.
| the present time. Alderman Cregue moved
that the Board Of Public Works be re-
Quesied 10 tap the river near the pumping
works 10 secure better supply OF water for
| the use of the city, and Alderman Brenner
moved to amend the resolution by adding
thereto and the sum of $4,000 transferred
from the contingent 10 the water works
| fund to meet the necessary expense The
resolution as amended was passed by a
unanimous vote.
